10 months ago failed to write data to efivarfs
That normally indicates the firmware is doing the wrong thing. What system BIOS version (not the EC version) do you have please?

10 months ago Created internal ticket LO-2795 to get feedback from the FW team.
One note - I can't find that FW on LVFS...I don't see any EC firmware offered for the P3 Ultra, so it's possible this is a bogus update being offered - but will find out what is going on.

10 months ago I logged into my Lenovo account and looked at updates for the machine, and I don't see an embedded controller update either.
Thanks for the help!

9 months ago As a note - this looks like a GUID clash - the feec6121-32d6-4922-b964-5ad8a8dd63ea is used for the P620 SIO firmware. I'll check with the FW team what is going on...but that explains why you were offered the update by LVFS.

9 months ago @mrhpearson If that is the case then I can add that GUID to the list that requires a CHID if you want.

9 months ago OK - good to know. I'd like to confirm from the FW team if they've messed up or not first and go from there. Not heard back yet but lots of people are still making their way back from holidays.

8 months ago Hi @hughsie - I finally got confirmation from the FW team that this is a GUID clash. They're going to fix the P360, but that will take time. What's the best way to fix this - I was going to demote the FW to embargo and get them to add the hardware-id, but if you have a faster way let me know :)
